Overview of the Lyndale Neighborhood


Lyndale, located in the Powderhorn community of Minneapolis, is bordered on the north by Lake Street, on the east by Interstate 35W and Stevens Avenue, on the south by 36th Street, and on the west by Lyndale Avenue South. The neighborhood got its name from Lyndale Avenue, which derives its own name from Lyndale farm, a 1,400-acre farm owned by Hon. William S. King. In turn, the name of the farm was in memory of Mr. King’s father, Rev. Lyndon King, a travelling Methodist preacher of northern New York. The neighborhood is mainly residential, with a large fraction of property in parcels occupied by multifamily residential purposes. Commercial purposes manage to converge along Lake Street. The Lyndale neighborhood has one of the largest populations of the city neighborhoods with 8,000 residents.

Lyndale is in the center of South Minneapolis, providing the neighborhood convenient entry to shopping, the lakes, transit, and the freeway.

Most of the homes are turn of the century styles that were constructed between 1900 and 1920 and have been affectionately renovated and modernized.
